★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Core (Lp) is an exceptional studio with very knowledgeable teachers. Started with a two week trial and I am now in my second month. It is getting easier as time goes on and I am hooked ans learning how to challenge myself. I am strengthening and toning all the muscles in my body. The staff is so supportive and I have met some wonderful students as well. The owner , Judy is has created a positive and inclusive environment and I’m grateful for what she has brought to our community.
June 17 · Jodi BergerCore(LP) is hands down the best fitness studio around! Judy and her team are amazing, and the community is so welcoming and motivating. Every class is a perfect mix of fun and challenge. Highly recommend!
February 13 · Elizabeth ZezulaI’m new to Lagree and recently visited Core (LP). I workout regularly. However, I have never done a workout that made me feel the way this did (abs are on fire!). I was intimated at first and put off trying something I wasn’t familiar with for a while, but the instructor, Danielle, was very welcoming and guided me through the entire class. I loved the small community feel as well. Whether you’re new or a veteran to Lagree, I recommend checking out Core (LP)!
February 16 · Jasmine SarkisUpdated Review:I’ve always been a loyal member to every fitness studio I’ve joined, and I came in with the same expectations here. To be fair, I’m leaving two stars only because of Arsharel and Nichol — they are truly amazing instructors who deserve to be teaching at an original Lagree studio, not in this environment.Unfortunately, the trust I once had in this studio was broken. After many of us paid upfront for a full year membership, the owner, Judy, suddenly shifted direction: hiring inexperienced, non-certified trainers, opening a new location, and purchasing copycat machines instead of authentic Lagree equipment. Yes, you read that right — fake Lagree machines, which are not only unsafe but also disrespectful to long-time clients who believed in the original method and trusted her leadership.The studio also rebranded from “Lagree” to “Modern Pilates,” which might be fine for newcomers, but as an original client, I signed up and invested in authentic Lagree training — not this. There’s nothing wrong with Pilates in general, but the issue is the bait-and-switch: we trusted we were paying for true Lagree, with certified trainers and proper equipment.As someone who has always supported and respected my studios, I had no choice but to cancel my membership. It’s disappointing to see a place I once believed in lose its integrity. If you’re interested in real Lagree, I encourage you to check Sebastian Lagree’s page (@lagreefitness) for more details on the differences.Old review:I love core lp! Coming from California it was a challenge to find a lagree studio that i like and im so glad to find Judy and her team. They are all great. The way that it challenges me every-time in a different way is just so addictive in a good way. 100% recommend
August 27 · Yeganeh TabatabaeiI can't rave enough about my experience at Core (LP) Lagree! This studio is an absolute gem and I'm so glad I discovered it. First and foremost, let me tell you about Judy, the instructor who truly makes each session incredible. Judy's energy and expertise are unparalleled. Her motivational cues and personalized guidance push me to my limits, and I leave every class feeling stronger and more accomplished.The staff at Core (LP) Lagree are not just friendly, they're like a welcoming family. From the moment I walked in, I felt like a valued member of the community. Their warm greetings and genuine smiles create a positive atmosphere that sets the tone for a fantastic workout.The studio itself is perfectly sized – it's not overwhelming like some of the larger places, but it has all the equipment you need for a killer Lagree session. And speaking of cleanliness, they truly prioritize it. The studio is immaculate, and I appreciate how much effort they put into maintaining a hygienic environment.Let's talk about the music – it's absolutely on point! The music keeps me motivated and in sync with the exercises. It's clear that the team puts thought into curating playlists that keep the energy high and the vibes positive.If you're considering trying Lagree or looking for a new studio, Core (LP) Lagree is an absolute must-visit. Judy's classes alone make it worth it, but when you combine that with the friendly staff, spotless studio, and killer music, you've got an experience that's truly unmatched. I can't recommend this place enough – it's become my fitness sanctuary and a highlight of my week.
